Spire: Blood and Dust

You are a dark elf. Your home, the towering city of Spire, was occupied by the high elves two hundred years ago. Now, you have joined a secret organization known as the Ministry, a paramilitary cult with a single aim – to overthrow the cruel high elves and restore the drow as the rightful rulers of the city.

What – or who – will you sacrifice to achieve your aims? Will you evade the attention of the authorities, or end up shot in the street like so many before you?

The city of Spire is rotting from within and without. Each year the structures built onto the outside of the city’s structure collapse and fall away. The cursed tear in reality, the Heart, festers deep within the center. Disorder and chaos are a natural part of daily life for those on the edges of civilization.

And yet: the brutal undercity of Red Row is more chaotic than ever. Where before gangs would pass each other with holstered weapons and wary glances, each keeping to their respective territories, now they engage in open warfare, and spireblack gunsmoke floats through the dark city. Families come apart, leaving children without mothers, begging on the streets for sustenance. The Crimson Vigil, a group of violent anti-aelfir reactionaries, are openly recruiting soldiers for their forbidden cult. And a new play, The Weeping Maiden, is touring the district – and that’s all anyone seems to talk about.

Things are coming apart, and ordinary people are getting caught in the middle. Someone is behind this. The player characters, all of them noted professionals in Red Row (and relative novices in the Ministry) gather their resistance cell together and start investigating.
